Suspicious for increased intracranial pressure, medical decision making is listed as high complexity. The patient had a CAT scan of the brain without contrast that was positive for brain lesions. An A-scan bilateral ophthalmology biometry was then performed, and patient was sent to the radiology department for simple therapeutic radiology treatment planning.
